“I think for sure that the Washington Commanders will come here and then they’ll play us,” Vrabel said. “And then we are excited to go to Minnesota. It’s...

In a season of major change and re-alignment, there was a lot of good and a little bad from GM Adam Peters
No team in the NFL turned over more of its roster in 2024 than the Washington Commanders.
Current Commanders managing partner Josh Harris and the rest of the ownership group purchased the Washington franchise in July of 2023, just days before the start of training camp — too late to really effect much change on the football operations. The Commanders limped through Ron Rivera’s 4th and final season as the head coach/head of football...

Carl Davis is back!
The Washington Commanders announced another roster move before offseason activities(OTAs) start on Wednesday. Carl Davis was on Le of the former Dallas Cowboys that made their way onto the roster after Dan Quinn was hired to be the Commanders head coach last year. Davis wasn't a priority signing or a starter, but he provided depth later in the season as the team dealt with Jonathan Allen's injury. Davis was signed to the practice squad three days after Allen's pec injury, and was active for three games during the regular season and during the NFC Championship game...

Washington moves to 5-2 with home win, kicking off a 3-game winning streak
With the Cowboys on a bye and the 3-2 Eagles beating the 2-4 New York Giants at 1:00 to get to 4-2, this late-afternoon game represented the culmination of Week 7 for the NFC East. To stay in control of the division, Washington would need to shake off last week’s loss to the Ravens and earn a win to move to 5-2 on the season.
Fortunately, the visiting 1-5 Carolina Panthers represented the closest an NFL team usually gets to a comfortable ‘get well’ opponent.
